ultra-fast time management tool that you can experience without opening the app: Operation buttons + Siri + automation + group scheduling = Hands-free time management; Multi-day budgets + cyclical scheduling = plan a month in one minute; Focus + balance center = explore your own balanced lifestyle. TimeStore – Minute-Level Time Tracking & Lifestyle Improvement Tool [Why Track Every Minute?] Understanding where every minute goes (past/expenditure) lets you plan intentionally (future/budget) and improve continuously (present/execution). Just like improving finances requires detailed expense tracking: Recording the past can also enhance self-discipline – proven by personal experience. [Standards & Guidelines] TimeStore references the UN’s Time Use Survey and national statistics standards, adapted for individual use. Time is divided into two main categories: essential survival activities and discretionary time, guiding better use of time and work-life balance. [The Time Trilogy] Past: Precise Minute-Level Recording Track like ledger. Predefined categories (customizable) include Work / Study / Leisure / Social. Auto-calculate durations. Optionally record location, mood, expenses, thoughts, or variable metrics. Recording in real-time saves effort compared to recalling later. Time Bills – Visualize Your Time Auto-generated daily and weekly reports: category charts: 30% phone? 15% commute? Clear at a glance. flow comparison: Compare with last week – did unproductive social time increase? Time Fragments – Stamp Each Day - Every log earns a “time part” Collect 1,440 (1 per minute) to name the day (e.g., “Focused Workday,” “Reflective Chill Day”), reinforce habit. Present: Life Countdown Set a personal age countdown and experience every passing second. See equivalents in days, weeks, months, or excluding sleep. Focus Mode + Task Assistant auto-records time, synchronizing with completed tasks. Set timers to avoid over-focusing. Time Travel Scroll through your recorded timeline to revisit any day, compare life patterns, and reflect. Balance Center Adjust current parameters based on past records to guide work and rest. Future: Diverse Planning Start a plan with just a name. Add more details after. Time Voting Unsure about going on a trip? Launch a “time vote.” Let different versions of yourself across timelines decide, avoiding impulsive choices. Time Budget & Planning Allocate 1,440 minutes per day across activities, adjusting in real-time. Budgets vary for weekends, workdays, or school days, and weekly/monthly recurring budgets can be pre-set. Time Store – Your Plan Templates Quickly create plans - 1 click. Save plan as a template and show in store. [Your Personal, Flexible, and Secure Tool] Time Coins – Reward Behavior Earn Time Coins from hard work to redeem for “game time” or “treats.” Balance coins near zero: surplus means time to rest, deficit means over-rest. Customizable rewards per activity. Fully Customizable Attributes Tailor categories (e.g., Kids / Study), recording frequency (minutes/hours), and analysis scope (day/week/month). The tool adapts to you, not the other way around. Offline Storage – Your Data, Your Privacy All logs stay on your device; no internet required. Automatic local backups supported; export/import for device migration. [Real User Feedback] “After 3 months, I discovered I spent 2.5 hours on short videos daily. Now I limit it to 1 hour and gained 10.5 extra hours weekly for reading.” – @OfficeWorkerAz “I realized my commute had 40 minutes of spare time; using it to memorize words is extremely efficient.” – @ExamStudentXing “Using it for 3+ years, life feels easier. Seeing my past helps me move forward and break bad habits.” – @Developer [Final Note] Tracking isn’t the goal. Seeing where your time goes lets you identify improvement points.

StayPaws is a focus timer that helps you beat procrastination, stay off your phone, and build lasting productivity habits — while caring for your own virtual dog. Distracted by your phone? You're not alone. The average person picks up their phone 96 times a day. StayPaws flips the script: every minute you stay focused earns rewards for a virtual dog that depends on you. It's a simple idea that works — because it turns willpower into something you can see. HOW IT WORKS Pick a virtual dog from a growing collection of companions. Set a focus timer — 15, 25, 45 minutes or custom. Stay focused until the session ends. Your dog earns a meal every time you complete a session. Hit milestones to unlock rare breeds, accessories, and new items. Skip a session? Your dog gets hungry. It's a small, fun accountability system that keeps you coming back — and that's the point. DESIGNED AROUND REAL SCIENCE StayPaws is built on the Pomodoro Technique and spaced focus intervals — methods backed by decades of productivity research. Whether you're doing a 25-minute sprint or a 90-minute deep work block, StayPaws keeps you honest. Track your daily and weekly focus streaks. Watch your consistency improve over time.
